I just watched Marco Rubio on Face The Nation. Just some of his interview with Margaret Brennan. I had to tune out otherwise I would be on my way to BestBuy to replace my destroyed TV.
I watched it too and when he said, "both sides need to give up something" I started cussing a blue streak at the TV and had to tune it out. Stupid MFer Rubio is so in over his head and up Trumps ass it's sickening.
Yeah, is "giving up" innocent civilians, the children, the infrastructure, the future of those that have survived thus far not enough? What exactly has Russia "given up" other than soldiers they never cared about in the first place.
Believe it's Rick Wilson's theory that MFer (or is that Donkey F-er?) Rubio gave up his cushy Senate job to be a talking head for DumbDonald is when the #47 shit show ends, (there's a vote for democracy, Rubio thinks Prez Fuckwit's reign will end) he can step up and run for President and win. Has anyone checked the water supply to the Republicans' congressional offices? They're all idiots, shallow losers, and delusional to the point of being a danger to themselves.
It's like an intruder taking over your master bedroom and battling him every day as he says "If you just accept this bedroom is mine now we can have peace!"
As he plows over your fields, steals all your food and sells it back to you at vastly inflated prices, and depletes your bank accounts. Oh wait, that’s both of these criminally elected world “leaders”.
Try stocking up on stuffed animals, or if that is too expensive you can use some rolled up socks. It’s what I did when he announced his first run for president. The second he opened his mouth, out came my dogs toys and me screaming “FUCK NO” so loud my dog went and buried herself in the closet. I no longer have a dog but throwing socks that I never even considered till now instead of burying my self in the closet.
She died from some sort of antibiotic resistant infection in her intestines. It was traumatic for me since she wasn’t just my dog, she was my service dog and smarter than any dog I ever had before her. She was the dog that even people who hated dogs wanted to take home with them.
I have 4 TV's in my house (don't ask, it's a long story) for two people. And I have a strict personal rule, I do not watch anything with Prez Shit4Brains video in it, on any of them. I get my news in print (like from Jeff, and podcasts). I can barely tolerate looking at stills of Dipshit-in-Chief, and listening to his baby-babble-weave (clips in podcasts) so nauseates me I have to babble with him to drown him out. That's how I keep myself from destroying my TVs.
That's two of us, although we only have two for three people. My husband's been hospitalized since Friday night, so our tv has been on six hours since. Four of those were the Niners vs Oakland.
I'm retired and all I do is read, and every hour there is something new that just shouts "god fucking damnit, can't they just shut the fuck up for one hour?" I'm going to have to learn speed reading.
I'd just finished reading today's FANTASTIC post to hubby (now I even 'do' fuckwit's voice, aargh) mostly because - like others I cannot watch him lie and lie and lie, so you save my dogs' hearing and me by watching those hours of video for us all. I'd just posited that in order TO write as you do, you must spend hours at night watching and figuring out so much of their dreck (which is NOT good for your own blood pressure or mental health) to provide us with your utterly brilliant writings. I too, spit out my tea on this one with my first read-through. I'd envisioned putin telling the fuckwit exactly what he plans for Ukraine and 'don't be silly' at any suggestion of him exiting his army in a 'peace deal'. frump is SO dumb to imagine he was the one in charge or could get the 'noble' prize he thinks would make him British Royalty. You nailed it. One quick extra question: do you think they're dropping extra Adderall into his Diet Coke? There's a remarkable 'lift' from this photo to his blither-blathering of the WH Press..
I’m really beginning to think that Trump is a Russian spy!! For a very long time because this shit on Friday was disgraceful and disgusting to watch!! Military bends down to a KGB agent, murderer, criminal and roll out the red carpet 🤔 I thought Trump was going to kiss putins hand..every time they shook hands trump couldn’t quit tapping putins hand and hanging on longer then Putin seemed comfortable with!! Donny is Putins tiny little hand puppet and bitch!
VERY late in getting to this, Doreen. Fwiw, I decided frump was compromised by the russians YEARS ago and assuredly considered (by them at least) an 'asset' long before turning our White House into the DC bordello it now is. Isn't it SO WEIRD how much he grovels to that disgusting murderer/war criminal? Is it because he really 'luvs' him or because he now knows how Vlad came by his KGB name of 'vlad the poisoner' and is shaking in his shoes? I think I'd prefer the latter UNLESS he's handing over our State secrets.
For you, 108 protest signs for the fight. This is for Occupied D.C. Many signs are revised to sing. 🎶. I recommend using a local printer, but national print companies offer great pricing, shipping included. There is time to get the lot printed for your protest group, assuming you have a gathering of 300 to 1,000. This would help fill the hands of the signless.
This was another classic, thank you for precisely expressing & informing us of the details of this nightmarish timeline we're living through, in a way we get to laugh and cry at same time, instead of just cry.
I thought my link wasn't working....where's the rest of it? "Bela"??? Belated? Belarus? Belafonte? Bela Legosi aka Stephen Miller? Belabored? His brain is tapioca.
Paula: HIL-arious! It's always a word his brain glitches on so he tries to veer away to something familiar, except lately there's NOTHING FAMILIAR! We've been calling him pudding-brain but your 'tapioca' seems far more accurate. Brava!
Putin broke his brain even more....did ya see the anguished, perturbed, defeated expression on his face (while they were sitting)....he looked like the kid whose idol rudely blew him off! 😂....I read that Putin was a double as he has a few. Imagine being duped by a double....thats why there were no questions, etc. He was sent there to deliver demands and instructions. And D was just about to verbally felate him when he found out. Disappointment 😞!
it was the exact same Donny who presented himself in Helsinki after their meeting in 2018. He presented the demeanor of Reek, former Prince of tje Iron Islands.
I don’t believe the orange weirdo feels anguish. He’s a dullard and has an emotional meter that starts at empty and goes to angry, that’s all. I interpreted the look on his face and body language to be dumb and confused after his momentary excitement upon seeing his captor.

They took it away from him, did they? Is there anyone in the universe who thinks Zelenskyy should show up on Monday? I don't care if world leaders stop by, maybe run an intervention, but not Zelenskyy. He should have nothing to do with t, who will only betray him some more. Remember, t works for p.
Thank you Jeff. So glad our criminal elect pedophile could get together with his excellency, the war criminal.
Unsurprisingly, the Criminal Elect and his lying team of sycophants, alcoholics, and incompetents claim Trump was able to "strongarm" Putin into a security guarantee for Ukraine as part of a new peace initiative.
Everyone of your readers know there has been a security guarantee since 1994. Prior to Putin illegally annexing Crimea and invading Ukraine. Security guarantees are meaningless to tyrants like Putin and criminals like Trump.
Thank you for reminding all of us that Ex KGB agent Vladimir Putin already violated the Budapest Memorandum that he signed when Ukraine agreed to give up all their nuclear weapons.
Ukrainians must wish they'd never given those nukes up.
Since that security guarantee was in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons, the only believable security guarantee for Ukraine now is to give them nuclear weapons.
I wonder who got all that food they’d planned to serve those fucking assholes? I can only pray they gave it to a women’s shelter or some other worthwhile agency.
Neal, these are the same muthafuckas that allowed tons of food for the poor and disenfranchised to rot in trucks, rather than make the effort to distribute it! That food is HIS-TOR-Y.
All but those green things king spoiled brat would never allow to cross his lips. Probably ordered the steaks without the lovely sauce so he could drown them in the ketchup that remained after he threw it all over the walls of the plane.
Yes. I read that Merz, Macron, Meloni, Strubb, Starmer and von der Leyen are going along with Zelenskyy to meet with Trump after they all met together this weekend. My friend's husband is one of the German diplomats going along with Merz and when I was talking to her this afternoon she told me her husband had just left the house to go to Washington. They all need to leave today for a meeting tomorrow, so they can perhaps get some sleep.
“Stupid is as stupid does.” Psychologically, Trump demonstrates an alarming lack of self-preservation. His bizarre adoration of authoritarian figures, particularly Vladimir Putin, has raised persistent questions about both his judgment and his vulnerability. Even under the generous assumption that kompromat exists and explains Trump’s deference to Putin, his unintelligent failure to protect himself, his country, or his legacy is striking. He excluded translators from private meetings with Putin, refused to brief advisors, and actively avoided any meaningful diplomatic planning. These are not acts of strength or strategy; they are acts of extreme stupidity, submission and fear.
Had Trump the intelligence or foresight to deny and deflect anything Putin might expose about him his devoted base would have accepted almost any narrative he put forth. Instead, he remains entrenched in subservience, a willing captive to his own poor decisions and compromised past.
What we are witnessing is a deteriorating figure, who isn’t very bright, so desperate to conceal weakness that he willingly amplifies it. His lack of insight, planning, and basic diplomatic awareness exposes a truth that is both simple and terrifying: he is and always has been plainly stupid.
Trump’s current decline may be glaring, but it is merely the latest chapter in a lifetime defined by reckless decisions, self-sabotage, and a stunning inability to learn from failure. From bankruptcies and shady business ventures to disastrous political missteps, he has repeatedly made foolish, shortsighted choices and often evaded accountability. His submissive posture toward Vladimir Putin is not a strategic maneuver but yet another ill-conceived attempt to manage a relationship he clearly doesn’t understand and cannot control. If there is kompromat, he has handled it in the worst way imaginable, by groveling, hiding, and weakening himself further. Rather than outsmart his circumstances, Trump has again chosen the dumbest path forward: serving as a willing pawn in a game that he is obviously too simple minded to play.
He should see Dr Joel Fleischman, in Cicily, Alaska. Dr Joel has a beautiful Par 4 laid out in the Alaskan wilderness (Northern Exposure reference for us old timers).
It was always one of my favorites , too, Cheri. Recently thought of it again and searched it up. Watched all of season one and enjoyed it all over again. I see parallels between myself and Holling Vincouer.
I will also hope that this does not distract from Epstein. Ultra Violet sent me an email today saying that their flying banner has been successful and they are going to do another one.
I wonder whether the average MAGA even pays any attention to foreign affairs. I suspect not.
Also, I should point out that the fate of Ukraine is the fate of Europe and the fate of the people in the US who support democracy. The fewer strongholds there are against the collectivity of autocrats who all work together, thus Anne Applebaum calls it "Autocracy, Inc." in her book of that title.
Trump is "creme foutu" on their menu. Prepare to be nauseated by Crapper John's lineup of hostile, rude, and ignorant staff to meet with the real diplomats.
Oh good it's a gang bang on Taco Don and Just Dull Vance. The previous meeting with Zelensky was shameful. Everything this regime does is shameful and traitorous. Release the Epstein files!
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Zelenskyy said, with the press in attendance, “ Well, we would consider giving Russia some concessions, if you made public the unredacted Epstein files!”
Yes. But, if you are working for Trump you are more likely to be a bonehead than the people who all got fired. Autocrats always destroy their countries. Everyone in charge is corrupt, and the purpose of the leadership is to steal as much money from their people as possible. That is the network that Trump is trying to join. He certainly has the creds for it.
I read his name in some list of people. He may not have been the room but I think he was there. He was set to have joined at lunch. That means he needed to have been there.
It’s a toss-up whether it was the usual incompetence or they were told to leave papers in the printer so one of putin’s people could go photograph them before they were “found.” Yes, that sounds a bit tinfoil hat. On the other hand, it’s clear trump follows his owner’s orders.
Surely the WH knows about Zelensky’s entourage for tomorrow. They’d have to have signed off on it. Unless Donny’s henchmen plan to deny them entrance, at gunpoint.
Yes. This is planned. European adult leaders, do not just show up unannounced. They are showing Trump how much they support Zelenskyy since he cannot seem to make plans for Ukraine taking that reality into account.
I assume you meant this jokingly but it is sometimes hard for me to tell. Being overexposed to Trump and Republicans is making it hard for some Americans to tell what are appropriate behaviors for adults who are leaders. I have to say all of the talks at the Munich Security Conference were a relief this summer, because it was such a relief to listen to adults. It is so debasing to listen to Trump and his MAGA cult talk. I hate it. I am grateful that Jeff provides transcripts because I can usually not actually listen to them.
I don't believe they will "lay down the law" to Trump. Instead they are going to back up Zelenskyy and jump in if need be. They might be correcting Trump if he says some lie, which he will do and they will do if it is relevant to them. If he babbles on about losing in 2020 and all his big list of demented grievances I don't know if they will say anything to that. They will try to refocus and get what they came to get him to say. I believe they want security assurances, and no territorial concessions. What someone needs to do, but probably won't do, is point out to him how weak Russia is. I wish someone would provide Trump with Martin Belderson's report, but they won't. All his people are on the Russian payroll.
America is doing the walk of shame this morning, stumbling and reeking. The sight of our soldiers rolling the red carpet for fucking Putin... I showered. I still feel dirty.
The optics sucked. To the soldiers, they carried out their orders. The shame is with the leadership. Not sure a shower will remove the shame we all feel today.
Levitt left her make-up kit at the hotel with the secret plans. It was the make-up kit that stressed her out because it contained her second largest gold Christian Cross.
I still don’t think that was Putin and it’s not just me. Not Pooty body double, body language not Pooty, think about it the biggest possible slam to the US would be to send a fake Pooty. War criminals don’t go to foreign countries. Check out Jake Broe on you tube easy to get yesterdays post.
Did he play? Or was it just more constant cheating, followed up by more lies on the 19th hole? Shitler golfing is more of a scripted sham than an athletic endeavor.
I understood it that Putin did not want to stay for lunch. Does not surprise me, he came for a transaction and got what he got, although I do not know how Trump even manages these meetings, and then hightailed it out of there. No lunch. Putin is not going to put that much trust in the USA. Even if Trump loves him, someone else might not.
And this game of back and forth, Putin whispers sweet nothing in Trump's ear and Trump is all Putin yeah! Then, the European leaders backing Ukraine have to talk to Trump to remind him he was supposed to up the sanctions on Putin, not play nice with him. I imagine it is going to be a big flatter fest. I am sure they had to spend time discussing the ways to manipulate Trump. Since flattery does not come naturally to Germans, I can imagine that this is taxing on Merz. Merz wants to be the foreign policy Chancellor, and now it is hard to do anything but that. My friend's husband is hardly home since Trump took office. It is hard being a diplomat, but their daughter is my daughter's friend and I know she is studying to do the same thing. Who knows. At least diplomats are still valuted in European countries.
My few months in Brussels were highlighted by the Manneken Pis! Loved that little pissing boy. I even have a deck of cards somewhere that features the statue/fountain. Thanks for pulling up a nice memory, Sharon.
However, that is more Trump's speed to name people like that. I expect most of the rest of the people in the room will be adults. Wonder what Marco Rubio will make of it. He is a Cuban fascist, but still, is an immigrant posing as a native born hater of immigrants.
BRB time traveling back to the GWB years to tell my "I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now" self to brace herself for it to increase exponentially in another two decades.
When people used to tell me Dubya was the worst President ever, I would always reply that Buchanan's record is hard to break: Dubya at least finished with all the States he started with.
But now? Buchanan may not have handled the secession crisis well, but he never invited Confederates to sack the Capitol.
US military members have voted by mail since the Civil War. IMO, it is the best way to vote. There are no lines to stand in for hours, no pesky cheating scanning equipment that needs to be "updated" in the middle of the night and the best thing is there is a paper trail for recounts if necessary.
I was a Democratic election observer in Pierce County, Washington, which is 100% mail-in voting, and I have confidence that every effort is made to accurately count the votes. Every state should be doing this.
I have a feeling Putin never said anything whatsoever to Dementia Donny about mail-in voting. That’s just one of the many bugs the idiot-in-chief has up his ass.
Trump makes shit up constantly. I routinely refer to Trump now as " The King of Bullshit." Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is crapola. I don't believe for a minute that Putin said anything to him about mail in voting. Putin is no fool. He knows Trump is an idiot and a narcissist.
Also, total lie that no other countries allow mail in voting. 12 countries allow it for any voter, including Canada, Germany and S. Korea. But I'm sure the MAGATs will be parroting this now.
And eight US states and Washington, DC are 100% mail-in voting. It makes so much sense on a practical level and also makes it harder to fk with elections just like Walt said below. Rethuglicans are against it because they need to cheat to win.
I think the despots hate “vote by mail” because it is more difficult for them to fuck with. Election fraud doesn’t come easy. There’s a standardized format and Vlad is trying to teach it to Shitler’s handlers, cuz ain’t nothing gonna stick in Leather-faced piss jar’s big fat pumpkin head.
Nope, because he doesn't need TP since he wears diapers and a catheter. I wonder which poor aid has the disgusting job of cleaning him up? They deserve a medal!
Which would make him even more despicable. I'm sure he doesn't even pick up his dropped napkin, the lazy ass. But he made sure the red carpet was perfect for daddy.
I will repeat what others have said re: AK “summit:” We’re fucked. AK was humiliating. In all the bluster, it came down to whatever you think is right, Vlad. So FM Lavrov arrives with his CCCP (USSR) tee shirt. Trump weaves down a red carpet awaiting Putin, then follows him around like a lost puppy. And, Ukraine? Well, I think Zelansky broke the code. In the Monday meeting he is bringing the European delegation. I am an American. I can certainly speak out. But I can’t remove myself from the national shame. Damn you Trump.
I know they will and tRamp should be largely ignored, best idea is send a body double or anybody else would be better We don’t know if dopey will even go, bone spurs and all.
me, every day at 9am: "I can't believe I'm almost finished writing"

I already have three clips of Marco Rubio saying stupid shit on Meet the Press for tomorrow's piece.
this shit literally does not ever end
I just watched Marco Rubio on Face The Nation. Just some of his interview with Margaret Brennan. I had to tune out otherwise I would be on my way to BestBuy to replace my destroyed TV.
face the nation, that's what I meant
same thing.
I know, right?
He was also bloviating on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker. That’s the show I had to turn off.
Press the Face, my friend and I used to call the talking-heads shows collectively
Jeff, Rubio embarrassed himself on both Sunday morning shows! Did they give Lindsey a Sunday morning off?
I watched it too and when he said, "both sides need to give up something" I started cussing a blue streak at the TV and had to tune it out. Stupid MFer Rubio is so in over his head and up Trumps ass it's sickening.
Yeah, is "giving up" innocent civilians, the children, the infrastructure, the future of those that have survived thus far not enough? What exactly has Russia "given up" other than soldiers they never cared about in the first place.
One thousand a day, IIRC, from Adam Kinzinger’s podcast today.
Believe it's Rick Wilson's theory that MFer (or is that Donkey F-er?) Rubio gave up his cushy Senate job to be a talking head for DumbDonald is when the #47 shit show ends, (there's a vote for democracy, Rubio thinks Prez Fuckwit's reign will end) he can step up and run for President and win. Has anyone checked the water supply to the Republicans' congressional offices? They're all idiots, shallow losers, and delusional to the point of being a danger to themselves.
how about Putin gives up bombing Ukraine and sitting on territory it is trying to steal, and Ukraine gives up needing money from the Western allies?
Stop Making Sense.
It's like an intruder taking over your master bedroom and battling him every day as he says "If you just accept this bedroom is mine now we can have peace!"

You made me laugh out loud. And I'm home alone.
Exactly! I'm surprised our TV is still intact.
I have 4 TV's in my house (don't ask, it's a long story) for two people. And I have a strict personal rule, I do not watch anything with Prez Shit4Brains video in it, on any of them.

I agree with you, A.J., I can barely stand to look at agent orange's face, let alone listen to him weave lies😡
ditto.
I can't believe "you people" actually watch all these shows. You must have more time than you know what to do with. I'd rather die, or water the yard.
Really, it’s just a big pile of propaganda bullcrap. Where’s the Epstein files?
What would we do without your grist for the mill? My mental health depends on you, uncle Jeff.❤️
As donny john would say, 1500% correct. Release the Epstein files!!!
Damn you're good, Jeff 💥💪 absolutely nailed it here, Thank You, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Please don't forget to give Steve (Nit)witkoff (a mangled translation of his ancestral name Dummkopf) his due.

VERY late in getting to this, Doreen. Fwiw, I decided frump was compromised by the russians YEARS ago and assuredly considered (by them at least) an 'asset' long before turning our White House into the DC bordello it now is.

I think I'd prefer the latter UNLESS he's handing over our State secrets.
One of Project 2025's tools might be "defect"tive.
I had to turn that shit off after about 5 minutes.
Sorry about your husband. :(
"I already have three clips of Marco Rubio saying stupid shit on Meet the Press for tomorrow's piece.

It's like Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "Karn Evil 9, 1st Impression, Pt. 2", isn't it?

Fantastic article Jeff. Dunno how Ye Think of All the Hilarious shit, but Ye knocked it outta the park on this one.(As usual)

I wonder how many of Putins doubles have been blown up?
That's the second time. He's 2 for 2.

If you’re still on the fence about MAGA being a cult, check out the number of likes and reposts on that little beauty.

Came here to say the same thing!
My immediate thought, too, Karla. Yeah, the "bot" idea makes it a little less bad.
I’ll have to take your word on this for now. I don’t think I want ANY of his fucking cookies!
They took it away from him, did they? Is there anyone in the universe who thinks Zelenskyy should show up on Monday? I don't care if world leaders stop by, maybe run an intervention, but not Zelenskyy. He should have nothing to do with t, who will only betray him some more. Remember, t works for p.
Hell no. How amusing would it be for cameras to be rolling and Donny just sits there waiting? and waiting, and waiting....
Oh gawd, don’t send me THERE.
Maybe he’s being haunted by Bela Lugosi?
If you feel like barfing today, go find the letter to Putin. I made the mistake of trying to find another post to make that one make sense.
I would 100% think the letter was a fake/parody if it wasn’t on Pravda Social.
It's really weird for her to go on and on about innocence and purity.
Retruthed 1.9k times. It’s almost like Bela Lugosi in Plan 9 from outer space.
🧛
Newsom's press office had a response to that too 🤨😵💫
Bela?? What the Hell does That mean Jeff!? Explain it to me as an Irish woman.(living in Ireland)
Obligatory: the only thing you need to know about the Alaska summit is that Donald Trump is on every page of the Epstein files.
Putin is very familiar wirh the Epstein/Trump files.
Probably has his own unedited, un-redacted copy. Maybe even original video.
And, I’ll bet it is a rare day indeed where Donnie doesn’t make a boom boom in his pants. His staff must order new ones by the gross.
Thank you Jeff. So glad our criminal elect pedophile could get together with his excellency, the war criminal.
Unsurprisingly, the Criminal Elect and his lying team of sycophants, alcoholics, and incompetents claim Trump was able to "strongarm" Putin into a security guarantee for Ukraine as part of a new peace initiative.
Everyone of your readers know there has been a security guarantee since 1994. Prior to Putin illegally annexing Crimea and invading Ukraine. Security guarantees are meaningless to tyrants like Putin and criminals like Trump.
https://www.hks.harvard.edu/publications/budapest-memorandum-25-between-past-and-future
So F-Trump and F-Putin. Hard. Next time they meet I hope it's while seated at defense bench at The Hague.
Thank you for reminding all of us that Ex KGB agent Vladimir Putin already violated the Budapest Memorandum that he signed when Ukraine agreed to give up all their nuclear weapons.
Ukrainians must wish they'd never given those nukes up.
Since that security guarantee was in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons, the only believable security guarantee for Ukraine now is to give them nuclear weapons.

Jeff Tiedrich may be the adjective champion of Substack, but your creative use of fonts and symbols is remarkable! Well-played Dana Jae.
I wonder who got all that food they’d planned to serve those fucking assholes? I can only pray they gave it to a women’s shelter or some other worthwhile agency.
Neal, these are the same muthafuckas that allowed tons of food for the poor and disenfranchised to rot in trucks, rather than make the effort to distribute it! That food is HIS-TOR-Y.
And destroyed birth control. They are monsters. The Brothers Grimm wrote non-fiction.
Agreed. Maybe some of the starving children could be fed off of that, but I will assume people on the base ate it.
Trump had all the luncheon food put in "to-go" bags for munchies on the long trip home. A fat boy need to eat!
All but those green things king spoiled brat would never allow to cross his lips. Probably ordered the steaks without the lovely sauce so he could drown them in the ketchup that remained after he threw it all over the walls of the plane.
Ugh- ketchup on Filets? yucchhhh
I think they sent Liddle Marco out for McDonald’s. PS. That menu looked revolting. Pretentious and heavy.
Also predictable and unimaginative.
My comment, further down. It's quite obvious that the menu was prepared by a NON-foodie, to serve NON-foodies.
Heavy, yeah. Pretentious, not at all, IMO. In fact, insultingly plebian. I'd be ashamed to serve it to anybody except the bridge club.
This is the most likely choice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 “A fat boy need to eat!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes. I read that Merz, Macron, Meloni, Strubb, Starmer and von der Leyen are going along with Zelenskyy to meet with Trump after they all met together this weekend. My friend's husband is one of the German diplomats going along with Merz and when I was talking to her this afternoon she told me her husband had just left the house to go to Washington. They all need to leave today for a meeting tomorrow, so they can perhaps get some sleep.
which is how you do it. Donny should have flown to Alaska on Thursday. but he refuses to stay overnight anywhere he doesn't have a golf motel
“Stupid is as stupid does.” Psychologically, Trump demonstrates an alarming lack of self-preservation. His bizarre adoration of authoritarian figures, particularly Vladimir Putin, has raised persistent questions about both his judgment and his vulnerability. Even under the generous assumption that kompromat exists and explains Trump’s deference to Putin, his unintelligent failure to protect himself, his country, or his legacy is striking. He excluded translators from private meetings with Putin, refused to brief advisors, and actively avoided any meaningful diplomatic planning. These are not acts of strength or strategy; they are acts of extreme stupidity, submission and fear.
Had Trump the intelligence or foresight to deny and deflect anything Putin might expose about him his devoted base would have accepted almost any narrative he put forth. Instead, he remains entrenched in subservience, a willing captive to his own poor decisions and compromised past.
What we are witnessing is a deteriorating figure, who isn’t very bright, so desperate to conceal weakness that he willingly amplifies it. His lack of insight, planning, and basic diplomatic awareness exposes a truth that is both simple and terrifying: he is and always has been plainly stupid.
Trump’s current decline may be glaring, but it is merely the latest chapter in a lifetime defined by reckless decisions, self-sabotage, and a stunning inability to learn from failure. From bankruptcies and shady business ventures to disastrous political missteps, he has repeatedly made foolish, shortsighted choices and often evaded accountability. His submissive posture toward Vladimir Putin is not a strategic maneuver but yet another ill-conceived attempt to manage a relationship he clearly doesn’t understand and cannot control. If there is kompromat, he has handled it in the worst way imaginable, by groveling, hiding, and weakening himself further. Rather than outsmart his circumstances, Trump has again chosen the dumbest path forward: serving as a willing pawn in a game that he is obviously too simple minded to play.
Absolutely. 👏 Beautifully written. May I share your comment?
Thank you. Feel free to share.
Excellent analysis. How do people not see this? He's a loser with money which allows him to be a bully. Or is that what they like?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ – ✧) Perfection. I want to copy and repeat your assessment everywhere, Sarah!
He should see Dr Joel Fleischman, in Cicily, Alaska. Dr Joel has a beautiful Par 4 laid out in the Alaskan wilderness (Northern Exposure reference for us old timers).
I loved that show so much! I remember Joel’s golf course!
It was always one of my favorites , too, Cheri. Recently thought of it again and searched it up. Watched all of season one and enjoyed it all over again. I see parallels between myself and Holling Vincouer.
Loved Northern Exposure Walt.
That mofo shouldn’t be going anywhere out of the US! He is after all, an adjudicated felon of the highest degree.
He can sleep on the plane can't he?
He sleeps in meetings funerals etc so he gets plenty of rest!
I'm so glad that Europe is showing their support for Zelensky. The last "meeting" was horrible to watch.
I will also hope that this does not distract from Epstein. Ultra Violet sent me an email today saying that their flying banner has been successful and they are going to do another one.
I wonder whether the average MAGA even pays any attention to foreign affairs. I suspect not.
Also, I should point out that the fate of Ukraine is the fate of Europe and the fate of the people in the US who support democracy. The fewer strongholds there are against the collectivity of autocrats who all work together, thus Anne Applebaum calls it "Autocracy, Inc." in her book of that title.
We'll stay on Epstein no matter what happens. I'm just glad to know that Zelensky won't be gang-raped this time.
Ditto. Let us hope that the gang isn't raped either.
Trump is "creme foutu" on their menu. Prepare to be nauseated by Crapper John's lineup of hostile, rude, and ignorant staff to meet with the real diplomats.
Oh good it's a gang bang on Taco Don and Just Dull Vance. The previous meeting with Zelensky was shameful. Everything this regime does is shameful and traitorous. Release the Epstein files!
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Zelenskyy said, with the press in attendance, “ Well, we would consider giving Russia some concessions, if you made public the unredacted Epstein files!”
Right back at you 😘.
Sincerely hope security for the EU team is not being handled by the same boneheads who left the "His Excellency Lunch Menu" on the printer.
Yes. But, if you are working for Trump you are more likely to be a bonehead than the people who all got fired. Autocrats always destroy their countries. Everyone in charge is corrupt, and the purpose of the leadership is to steal as much money from their people as possible. That is the network that Trump is trying to join. He certainly has the creds for it.
No worries! Pete Kegsbreath is in charge of security and is coordinating through a brand new “Signal” app.
I wonder if he left the papers at the copier too. It is a Kegsbreath sort of move.
Well, in his defense, he was probably drunk. Or hungover. 🫤
Yes. However that is an excuse not a defense.
True!
I don't think he was along for the Alaska trip
I read his name in some list of people. He may not have been the room but I think he was there. He was set to have joined at lunch. That means he needed to have been there.

Here is a song of Lithuanian and Ukrainian women and children singing a song in support of Ukraine.
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/who-is-in-meeting-with-trump-putin-alaska-summit/story?id=124689596
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
It’s a toss-up whether it was the usual incompetence or they were told to leave papers in the printer so one of putin’s people could go photograph them before they were “found.” Yes, that sounds a bit tinfoil hat. On the other hand, it’s clear trump follows his owner’s orders.
Both are equally plausible. Also, I read it as some sort of mutiny. Not everyone in the military is going to be loving Trump.
Oh, interesting.
I hope Marco Rubio is in that meeting- I want to see if he can sink any deeper into that couch.
Marco might find the Europeans helpful. Once again, dealing with adults instead of egomaniacal despots like Trump and Putin.
😂
Surely the WH knows about Zelensky’s entourage for tomorrow. They’d have to have signed off on it. Unless Donny’s henchmen plan to deny them entrance, at gunpoint.
Yes. This is planned. European adult leaders, do not just show up unannounced. They are showing Trump how much they support Zelenskyy since he cannot seem to make plans for Ukraine taking that reality into account.
I assume you meant this jokingly but it is sometimes hard for me to tell. Being overexposed to Trump and Republicans is making it hard for some Americans to tell what are appropriate behaviors for adults who are leaders. I have to say all of the talks at the Munich Security Conference were a relief this summer, because it was such a relief to listen to adults. It is so debasing to listen to Trump and his MAGA cult talk. I hate it. I am grateful that Jeff provides transcripts because I can usually not actually listen to them.
Agreed, Linda! I can’t listen to them either.
We wish them success and luck in laying down the law to Trump regime!
I don't believe they will "lay down the law" to Trump. Instead they are going to back up Zelenskyy and jump in if need be. They might be correcting Trump if he says some lie, which he will do and they will do if it is relevant to them. If he babbles on about losing in 2020 and all his big list of demented grievances I don't know if they will say anything to that. They will try to refocus and get what they came to get him to say. I believe they want security assurances, and no territorial concessions. What someone needs to do, but probably won't do, is point out to him how weak Russia is. I wish someone would provide Trump with Martin Belderson's report, but they won't. All his people are on the Russian payroll.
America is doing the walk of shame this morning, stumbling and reeking. The sight of our soldiers rolling the red carpet for fucking Putin... I showered. I still feel dirty.
The optics sucked. To the soldiers, they carried out their orders. The shame is with the leadership. Not sure a shower will remove the shame we all feel today.
It's a given that the soldiers did what they were told. Nevertheless and due to no fault of their own, their images are part of the historical record.
And all of the law and order, Russian hating Republicons I have known in my lifetime are as quiet as a shadow. Domestic terrorists all.
it made me want to fucking vomit.
I'm about to get in there. I have to read Jeff first.
Also, fuck every last fucking one of those murderers and all their accomplices and accessories.
"it’s a big slice of bullshit pie." A steady damned diet. 🤦♀️
Hopefully, we'll someday know why "Leavitt appeared to be a bit stressed out".
We're so so so screwed.
Levitt left her make-up kit at the hotel with the secret plans. It was the make-up kit that stressed her out because it contained her second largest gold Christian Cross.
She forgot it was “Botox Day,” and went outside regretting it.
🤣
🤣
I still don’t think that was Putin and it’s not just me. Not Pooty body double, body language not Pooty, think about it the biggest possible slam to the US would be to send a fake Pooty. War criminals don’t go to foreign countries. Check out Jake Broe on you tube easy to get yesterdays post.
Great point, Douglas. I hadn’t thought of that, but it makes sense in this crazy world we are living in.
I so believe Broe is correct about this guy being a Putin imposter. I noticed his legs are much bigger than the actual
Putin and the fact that he’s smiling…nope that’s not Vlad.
OMG! 😳 I'll look up Jake Broe...
So, KKKaroline was stressed out? Looking for a silver lining here…
You mean a silver cross like Thanos instead she keeps Botox syringes in there
The American Experiment officially ended Friday, buried 10-feet under by the revolting Taco Don.
He had to get back to play golf. The hell with Ukraine.
in fact, he did play golf yesterday
That one pic of Donald looking totally owned and then he magically goes to a golf course..one of his own… Calgon take me away.
Oh I'm sure he's already forgotten the "summit" by now. Or he's made up a whole false narrative of what happened. He's a self-soother.
The golf course is his 'happy place'
Where he probably claimed he won a made-up championship just to make himself feel like the "winner" he isn't.
One of the reasons I really loathe golf. The sport of entitled, wealthy smarmy elites.
Cela va sans dire!
It certainly does!(go without saying)
(Thanks for the translation!)
Did he play? Or was it just more constant cheating, followed up by more lies on the 19th hole? Shitler golfing is more of a scripted sham than an athletic endeavor.
I understood it that Putin did not want to stay for lunch. Does not surprise me, he came for a transaction and got what he got, although I do not know how Trump even manages these meetings, and then hightailed it out of there. No lunch. Putin is not going to put that much trust in the USA. Even if Trump loves him, someone else might not.
And this game of back and forth, Putin whispers sweet nothing in Trump's ear and Trump is all Putin yeah! Then, the European leaders backing Ukraine have to talk to Trump to remind him he was supposed to up the sanctions on Putin, not play nice with him. I imagine it is going to be a big flatter fest. I am sure they had to spend time discussing the ways to manipulate Trump. Since flattery does not come naturally to Germans, I can imagine that this is taxing on Merz. Merz wants to be the foreign policy Chancellor, and now it is hard to do anything but that. My friend's husband is hardly home since Trump took office. It is hard being a diplomat, but their daughter is my daughter's friend and I know she is studying to do the same thing. Who knows. At least diplomats are still valuted in European countries.
Putin may well have feared the personnel making his lunch.
Fallen dictators in Russia have a very short half-life.
Alaska is full of Russians and many towns along the coast have Ruskie names, I’ve been there and was shocked.
Full of Russians or Americans of Russian descent?
Good point many defectors for sure and just one pissed off enough to take a shot at pooty.
Good point.
Putin leaving before lunch was likely a snub. On the other hand, trump’s uppers may not have a long enough half-life for a 3-hour meeting and lunch.
That would have been the time that pooter could have been outed as a fake.
It seems to have been mutually necessary to part. Still wondering if Trump promised Putin Alaska in the car ride alone together.
Me, too.
The diplomats' cute nickname for Trump should be Manneken Pis, after the chubby statue in Brussels of the "Little Pissing Man."
My few months in Brussels were highlighted by the Manneken Pis! Loved that little pissing boy. I even have a deck of cards somewhere that features the statue/fountain. Thanks for pulling up a nice memory, Sharon.
However, that is more Trump's speed to name people like that. I expect most of the rest of the people in the room will be adults. Wonder what Marco Rubio will make of it. He is a Cuban fascist, but still, is an immigrant posing as a native born hater of immigrants.
Not staying for lunch might be Putin's official taster didn't come with him.
BRB time traveling back to the GWB years to tell my "I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now" self to brace herself for it to increase exponentially in another two decades.
When people used to tell me Dubya was the worst President ever, I would always reply that Buchanan's record is hard to break: Dubya at least finished with all the States he started with.
But now? Buchanan may not have handled the secession crisis well, but he never invited Confederates to sack the Capitol.
I’m partial to Andrew Johnson for the “prior worst,” myself. The damage he did to the country after succeeding Honest Abe is still being felt today.
Robert, dumpy is the worst so far and by a mile! That’s the story here.
Amen to that! I can't believe how I once believed that no one could be dumber than GWB! He seems like a genius in comparison to Tapioca Brained tRump.
As good ol’ Fran Leibovitz once said: “you don’t know anyone as dumb as DT-
you just don’t!”
Be careful, Alison, it’s a scary ride.
I can relate. I recently reflected on that very same
thing.
Didn't Trump vote by mail? Should his vote be invalidated?
US military members have voted by mail since the Civil War. IMO, it is the best way to vote. There are no lines to stand in for hours, no pesky cheating scanning equipment that needs to be "updated" in the middle of the night and the best thing is there is a paper trail for recounts if necessary.
I was a Democratic election observer in Pierce County, Washington, which is 100% mail-in voting, and I have confidence that every effort is made to accurately count the votes. Every state should be doing this.
I have a feeling Putin never said anything whatsoever to Dementia Donny about mail-in voting. That’s just one of the many bugs the idiot-in-chief has up his ass.
Ding-ding-ding! Trump flings out whatever pops into his head from moment to moment, and he literally makes it all up.
Trump makes shit up constantly. I routinely refer to Trump now as " The King of Bullshit." Nearly everything that comes out of his mouth is crapola. I don't believe for a minute that Putin said anything to him about mail in voting. Putin is no fool. He knows Trump is an idiot and a narcissist.
Of course he didn’t. Just another fever dream.
Putin said it with tears in his eyes!
“Sir, Sir…”
Even Texass (spelled correctly).
Also, total lie that no other countries allow mail in voting. 12 countries allow it for any voter, including Canada, Germany and S. Korea. But I'm sure the MAGATs will be parroting this now.
Australia is 100% mail-in and has been for decades.
And eight US states and Washington, DC are 100% mail-in voting. It makes so much sense on a practical level and also makes it harder to fk with elections just like Walt said below. Rethuglicans are against it because they need to cheat to win.
I think the despots hate “vote by mail” because it is more difficult for them to fuck with. Election fraud doesn’t come easy. There’s a standardized format and Vlad is trying to teach it to Shitler’s handlers, cuz ain’t nothing gonna stick in Leather-faced piss jar’s big fat pumpkin head.
“He was flattening out the red carpet!” MAGA online defended Trump’s zigzag gait.
He was also out of breath when he finally got there. On flat ground. But, no golf cart.
Too bad his breath didn't completely stop.
Shitler runs on methane. Oxygen just gets in the way of his self-produced fuel.
Seriously? This same Trump 1.0 who just threw down his wet open umbrella as he went into his plane?
Was his shoe dragging a line of toilet paper behind him?
Again, the asswipes this time were WItkoff, Rubio, and Leavitt.
Nope, because he doesn't need TP since he wears diapers and a catheter. I wonder which poor aid has the disgusting job of cleaning him up? They deserve a medal!
Which would make him even more despicable. I'm sure he doesn't even pick up his dropped napkin, the lazy ass. But he made sure the red carpet was perfect for daddy.
Dictators bring out Trump’s fierce daddy hunger, which he has passed on to his sons and Tiffany.
O. M. F. G.
🤦🏻
I hope Zelenskyy shows up tomorrow wearing shorts, tank top and sunglasses. Holding all the cards...yelling UNO!
I am with you, that would be the greatest!
＼(￣▽￣)／
HILARIOUS, Brian!
ヽ(╯▽╰)ﾉ
I will repeat what others have said re: AK “summit:” We’re fucked. AK was humiliating. In all the bluster, it came down to whatever you think is right, Vlad. So FM Lavrov arrives with his CCCP (USSR) tee shirt. Trump weaves down a red carpet awaiting Putin, then follows him around like a lost puppy. And, Ukraine? Well, I think Zelansky broke the code. In the Monday meeting he is bringing the European delegation. I am an American. I can certainly speak out. But I can’t remove myself from the national shame. Damn you Trump.
At least some of the staff on base had a nice lunch. I hope Europe kicks his ass tomorrow.
Maybe Starmer will bring up Epstein. Randy Andy and all...
I know they will and tRamp should be largely ignored, best idea is send a body double or anybody else would be better We don’t know if dopey will even go, bone spurs and all.
